Transforming Telecommunications

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) faces the difficult task of responding to a list of evolving threats and is increasingly challenged to keep pace with the demands of modern operations, where high-speed, low-latency connectivity is essential. The DoD must be able to count on reliable and uninterrupted lines of communication to carry out critical tasks, such as real-time data sharing, precise resource allocation, and immediate threat response. Yet, the DoD can often face obstacles like network congestion, latency issues, and limited scalability that can hinder mission effectiveness. Legacy network architecture, while functional, can be difficult to scale as needed, can lack the capacity to fully support the latest advancements in mission-critical technologies, and can be vulnerable to cyber threats. More than just an effort to strengthen national security, upgrading our military’s network architecture will enhance decision-making, improve mission effectiveness, and ultimately save lives.
